Convert 20.7 megabits/second to kilobytes/second
20.7 megabit/second = 2650 kilobyte/second
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert megabit/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to kilobyte/second.
Step 1: Convert from megabit/second to Bit per Second
20.7 × 1048576 = 21705523
Result: 21705523 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to kilobyte/second
21705523 × 0.00012207 = 2650
Result: 2650 kilobyte/second
Direct Conversion Factor
20.7 × 128 = 2650
Direct conversion: 20.7 megabit/second = 2650 kilobyte/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many kilobytes/second are in 20.7 megabits/second?
There are 2650 kilobytes/second in 20.7 megabits/second.
What is 20.7 megabits/second in kilobytes/second?
20.7 megabits/second is equal to 2650 kilobytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 20.7 by 128.
How to convert 20.7 megabits/second to kilobytes/second?
To convert 20.7 megabits/second to kilobytes/second using the convention, multiply 20.7 by 128. This gives you 2650 kilobytes/second.
What is the formula to convert megabits/second to kilobytes/second?
The formula to convert from megabits/second to kilobytes/second using the convention is: kilobytes/second = megabits/second × 128. Using this formula, 20.7 megabits/second equals 2650 kilobytes/second.
What is the difference between megabits/second and kilobytes/second?
The main difference between megabits/second and kilobytes/second is that 1 megabits/second equals 128 kilobytes/second using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.
Is megabits/second bigger than kilobytes/second?
megabit/second is larger than kilobyte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabits/second equals 128 kilobytes/second.
Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?
Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.
What is the difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
